Helga was born in Hauptstuhl, Germany on December 9, 1935 to Karl and Anna Vogelgesang. She married A.J. Beasley on October 13, 1954 in Ramstein, Germany. While she was proud of her German heritage she was even more proud to have earned U.S. citizenship in 1965. She took great satisfaction from her work at their small family businesses and retired from Dillard’s Department Store in 2004. She greatly enjoyed gardening and spending time with her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Anna and Gerda; her brother, Werner; her son-in-law, Glen; and her loving daughter, Dorothy.

She is survived by her daughters, Elizabeth Mcshan, Marlo Register and her husband Mark Register; and her son, Jim Beasley and his wife Lisa Beasley. Known by family and many friends as “Granny” she is also survived by seven grandchildren that she adored: Andrew Beasley, Meredith Beasley, George Register, Lillian Register, Meryl Mcshan, Meghan Hicklin and Kristen Spangler. She also leaves behind eight wonderful great-grandchildren.

Helga made a strong impression on all that knew her. She was well loved and will be greatly missed.
